Be it known that I, BnoNisLAwA WISZ- NlE-WSKA a subject of Russia Poland, residing at ault Ste. Marie, in the county of Chippewa and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wallis-Irons, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in waffle irons;

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a cooking device in the nature of a griddle for cooking or'bakidg waflies or similar eatablesin a ra id manner, the device being easily opera le for the perfect baking of the articles.

A further object of the device is the provision of a griddle form of cooker serviceable in turning the article tobecooked by revolving a portion of the device, the article being suitabl operation an readily removed when desired.

-With these eneral objects in view and others that -wil appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims. i

In the drawing iormi a part of this applieation and in which like numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the several .views,

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of-the same partially broken awa operativel y positioned upon a stove top, t e latter being illustrated in vertical section g -.Fig. 3 is a radial sectional view taken upon line IIL-III of Fig. 1, and,

Fig L is a ctive view P P P 6 ring employed with the device detached.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, it will be understood that the device is em- 'ployable for cooki waflles or cakes by means" of any suitab e source of heat suplied such as a stove 10 provided with a circular lid opening 11 in the top thereof and over which the present. device broadly assumed to he the she e of a 'ddle 1 2.is

readily positioned an removed at will.

The griddle 12 comprises an nnul us 13 tyvhile a receiving. pan havc annulus ing a side ring this journaled'int Specification of Lettcrllatent hook 19, positionable beneath a retained during the cooking i the annulus 13, an

An inwardly rojectinglan-l nular flange '21 is provided within the ring 1 14 and upon which a flange receiving form or mold 22 is adaptedto be seated. e form 22 is herein illustrated as provided with a star-shaped frame 23 adapted to rethe dough being also ceive the dough therein,

the star between the arranged outwardly of pointsthereof.

It will be understood that with the mold 22 positioned with dough, the lid 17 may be closed [and retained by the latch 19 whereupon the entire an may be positioned withinthe an nine 13 to be readily turned when desired wit out removin the annulus from the stove 10. U-shaped catch 24 is pivoted as at 25 to the annulus 13 adapted to overlie either the top or bottom 0 the pan when-the latter- 1s swung in radial alineme lus 13, for instance as positioned uprightin Fig. 3 of the drawing, it being understood that by releasing the catch. 24 the pan may be readil o ening 1 without shifting the annulus 13 an being retained inverted for applying. eat to the lid 17 by readjusting the catch 24. a
